Field Trips

The Red and White Fleet® offers several educational opportunities for field trips to schools at discounted rates:

Golden Gate Bay Cruise®: San Francisco’s original sightseeing adventure! A one-hour narrated cruise highlighting important points of San Francisco History. Amongst others, this includes life at the Barbary Coast during the Gold Rush, the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island’s history as an immigration station, and the Federal Penitentiary of Alcatraz.

Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise®: A breath-taking 90-minute cruise with a focus on San Francisco’s natural history, Native American culture, and architecture. On route, sail under both spans of the massive Bay Bridge, see Alcatraz and cheer the crowds, as you sail next to AT&T Park – home to the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

Located right next to the Red and White Fleet® are several other interesting historical sites, including the World War II Submarine USS Pampanito and the World War II Liberty Ship Jeremiah O Brien, as well as the intriguing Musee Mechanique with its extraordinary arcade machines.

Hungry? Upon request, we can arrange for boxed-luncheons aboard your cruise. It includes a sandwich, a seasonal salad, a bag of chips, and a cookie. Other snacks, beverages and souvenirs are available for sale aboard Red and White’s cruises.
